Time for action—defining $5 discount coupon code for certain items and free shipping for orders more than $150

In this section, we will create a more complicated coupon. A customer would need to add at least one certain type of product and make a shopping cart with a value more than $150 to get $5 discount on shopping cart with free shipping.

  1. Let's open the Sales | Coupons menu again and insert a new coupon. Fill the text boxes and choose the options according to the following screenshot. Notice that we choose Type as Fixed Amount this time and Free Shipping as Yes.

  2. Here, we apply this coupon only to Reebok Fuego Running Shoe product. A customer can use the coupon which is defined in Uses Per Customer as 1 only once.

  3. Let's start reviewing different customer shopping cart scenarios according to this coupon now. First of all, create another product in the store. In this case, it is Adidas Super Shoe. The following screenshot shows after the application coupon code for a $5 discount and free shipping. Notice that free shipping was applied even though there is Per Item Shipping Rate cost. This cost was totally eliminated and $5 discount was made on product Sub-Total value.

  4. In the following scenario, we have tried to apply a coupon code to the shopping cart where the coupon code doesn't include the certain product we defined before. Let's emphasize that we could not apply a coupon, even though the total order exceeded is $150.

  5. In the final scenario, we have added Reebok Fuego Running Shoe as it was included in the coupon code definition. But, again we could not apply a coupon since the total amount did not exceed $150.

What just happened?

We have learned how to define a fixed amount coupon with a minimum shopping cart limit to be activated on the customer side. Plus, applying a coupon requires putting at least one product which must be in the coupon coverage list into the basket. So, we should be very careful defining such conditional coupon codes because it can lead to customer confusion. It is wiser to create simple coupons.
